Borodino, NY -- The Borodino Fire Department has a new rescue pumper, which went into service on Monday.

Firefighters spent time earlier this week transferring equipment to the new pumper, which cost $553,000. The money came from Spafford fire district tax money from fire truck reserve funds.

The department, which has 23 members, now has four trucks in service: a tanker, a mini-engine, a light rescue truck and the new rescue pumper.

The new pumper replaces the department’s 1987 American LeFrance tanker pumper.
